This is important - GOP members of Congress own this crash as much as Trump.
House and Senate seats will be up for election in 2026. We cannot let any of those enablers get a free pass because we are focused on Trump.
Every Republican is to blame.

The CDC Has Been Gutted
Thousands of CDC employees who worked on things like preventing HIV and lead poisoning have been told they were subject to a reduction in force. Experts say people will die.
The Trump admin just gutted the CDCโfiring thousands who worked on HIV prevention, lead poisoning, asthma, and more. Programs that kept Americans healthy are gone overnight. This is cruelty, not efficiency. People will die.

Totally agree with this. Flying a person to a third country that they may never have been to, directly into a prison where they are going to be forced to do hard labor, is not a deportation; it's something else entirely.

Trumpโs Crazed Midnight Tirade over Muskโs Unpopularity Shows Weakness
Trump hates green energyโbut he loves Teslas, which heโs now pathetically pleading with his followers to buy as a show of loyalty and devotion to Elon Musk.
Trump's bizarre new tirade over Elon Musk, Tesla, and the "radical left" actually shows weakness. Trump now sees that his political fortunes are tightly tied to Musk's DOGE disasters, and he sees Tesla's tanking stock as a very bad omen.

Trump says he will buy a Tesla to show 'confidence and support' for Musk
Tesla is facing sagging sales and plunging stock prices as Musk dedicates himself to overhauling and downsizing the federal government as part of Trump's administration.
Trump won't lift a finger to lowerย prices for American families, but heโs happy to boost car sales for his co-conspirator in rigging the government for the ultra-rich.
Another reminder that Trump's "golden age" isn't for working people โ it's for billionaires like Elon Musk.

At this point given the underperformance of his companies and his contribution to a dramatic slowdown of the US economy the only possible justification Musk has for continuing his work in DC is that he has promised his boards plunder - stolen data, control of the FAA and broadband build out, etc.
